the shoes arrived quickly and seem to be well made. Especially for the price. I have a lot of decent shoes that I wear to the office and I didn't feel like they were anything out of the ordinary. There are 11 people in my office and almost everyone noticed and complimented it. I've been told that the most attractive feature is the second buckle. LAUGH OUT LOUD. Everyone praised me for this unique feature. Also remember that I'm a detective for a major police department in a major city. My colleagues are not usually impressed by such things. I would buy again.
